Hose/Tool Connections - Greenlee Fairmont HG3505A Instruction Manual

Hose/Tool Connections

Connecting Hoses
1. Pull up red bypass valve on reservoir.
2. Connect the return (tank) hose from the power unit
port to the tool return port (T).
Note: Return (tank) hose connection should always
be connected before pressure (supply) hose
connection to prevent pressure build-up inside
the tool.
3. Connect the pressure (supply) hose from the power
unit pressure port to the tool pressure port (P).
Note: A flow meter may be installed in the return line
to test the rate of flow in the system.
IMPORTANT
When new hoses are used, it is necessary to
prefill the hoses to keep the reservoir oil level
from dropping excessively. After connecting new
hoses to the unit, run the unit for a few minutes,
filling the hoses with oil. Stop the unit and check
the oil level of the reservoir. Refill as necessary.
Hydraulic oil should appear in the lower 1/4 of the
sight gauge.
